What can I say? Sometimes, it's nice to be used. :)(*sings* Sweet dreams are made of theeeese.... )

Haha.... Here's the story: Mr Shum and Mr Jee of Rama V was kind enough to invite a few of us food bloggers over to test out a specially crafted Thai fusion dinner they were preparing for an upcoming event at their restaúrant - the organisers wanted a gourmet/ degustation menu, which they have never done before, so they wanted to use us as guinea pigs (which we gladly agreed to...).

This is gonna be a pretty photo heavy post so I'll keep the words light this time, ok? :)(Warning: Most of the food is not available on the normal menu and there are no prices stated here - you'll have to contact Rama V for more info... I think they can tailor make it to your event, if its suitable)

The dumplings - So pretty! Tastewise, just ok to me... only because I don't really like sweet-ish food (that are not desserts).The crab souffle - Moist but with texture, fragrant but not overpowering, PERFECT (really)... I could eat this every single day...

Salad:- Prawn with Heart of Coconut and Lemon Grass (Yum Kung Pisek)

Yummy salad in a cocktail glass....

Unusual salad - fresh bouncey prawns went well with the herbs and chili.

I have no idea how much this all costs,... but if I ever get married/ live to celebrate my 60th birthday I think I will definitely choose Rama V. If only so I can have the beef again. And the fish. And the Salim. *drool*

Anyway, for more details on custom made menus & event bookings, please contact Andre at c_u_soon@RamaV.com.my or call the restaurant (03-2143 2428).

Last but not least: Thank you Andre & Danny for the lovely dinner! Anytime you need a guinea pig again, I happily volunteer. :) :) :)

Overall: Beautiful restaurant, attentive service, delicious Thai food for a range of prices (up to you - you can dine here for anywhere between 50 bucks to more than 200 bucks per person, depending on what you order) BUT traffic in the KLCC/ Jalan Tun Razak area can be very bad.
